My (blog)guest Zoë has written a wonderful post about a trip she made to Kyoto visiting the shops and ateliers of this ancient city’s traditional crafts people.

I remember when Zoë first told me about this trip – she described the most incredible tiny shops which she had found in a little book called Old Kyoto. It was right at the time I had finished writing Paris: Made By Hand – needless to say I was completely enraptured by her fabulous adventure and I’m thrilled that she is sharing it with all of you.
